Alan Alan (born Alan Rabinowitz in November 1926) is a retired British escapologist and magician. He originated tricks that have subsequently become familiar features of the repertoire of other performers and he has been honoured by The Magic Circle.
Alan achieved fame through a series of stunts staged for the media. He made headline news in 1949 when a "buried alive" stunt, performed for Pathe News, nearly went wrong. He is credited with devising the burning-rope straitjacket escape, in which he is suspended upside-down from a crane with a length of thick rope doused with petrol, once ignited there is a short time to escape before the rope burns through. He appeared in a number of television magic shows, including The Magic of David Copperfield. He also "taught" the inmates of Wormwood Scrubs prison how to escape from handcuffs in his performance with a number of other magicians. In more recent years he was seen on Simon Drake's TV show Secret Cabaret.
He was proprietor of Alan Alan's Magic Spot, a magic shop based on Southampton Row, London until its lease expired in the mid 1990s.

More than 50 of his singles have appeared on Billboard's list of the "Top 30 Country Songs". Of Jackson's entries, 35 were number-one hits, with 50 in the Top 10. He is the recipient of 2 Grammys, 16 CMA Awards, 17 ACM Awards and nominee of multiple other awards. Jackson is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 2001.
Jackson was born to Joseph Eugene Jackson and Ruth Musick in Newnan, Georgia, and has four older siblings. Jackson is of English descent. As a youth, Jackson listened primarily to gospel music. Otherwise he was not a major music fan. However, a friend of his introduced him to the music of Gene Watson, John Anderson and Hank Williams Jr. Jackson attended the local Elm Street Elementary and Newnan High School, starting a band after high school. After a time, he and his wife of six years, Denise Jackson, moved from Newnan to Nashville where Jackson hoped to pursue music full-time.

Comienza a amanecer en esta oscuridad
y yo buscandote perdido en soledad
y asi sin ti, que dificil vivir.
Tu aliento se me fue, sin una explicación
dejándome caer en la desolación
y aqui sin ti podría morir.
(CORO)
Si pudiera volar hacia ti
y a la luz de tu universo mi esperanza descubrir
en ti,solo en ti
una ilusión, un corazón
echa volar hacia ti.
Quisiera regresar, volverte a respirar
quedar unido a ti y por una eternidad
y asi renacer y a ti volver.
(CORO)
Si pudiera volar hacia ti
y a la luz de tu universo mi esperanza descubrir
en ti, solo en ti,en ti...
Si pudiera volar hacia ti
y a la luz de tu universo mi esperanza descubrir
en ti,solo en ti
si pudiera volar hacia ti
tocaría el horizonte dejaría de existir
por ti hasta el fin
sin más ni más esta ansiedad
Hello Mother Hello Father
I am back at Camp Granada
and I'm writing you this letter
just to say my compound fracture's getting better.
No one here knows where my trunk is
and my bunk is where the skunk is
and this years the food's improving
cause the little black things in it are not moving.
The camp nurse is quite a swimmer
she says swimming makes you slimmer.
Her name's Mrs. Pellagrini,
Have you ever seen a whale in a bikini!
All our bathrooms have such thin doors
gee I wish they'd move them indoors.
We're all tired of Mother Goose here
so next Friday night they're having Lenny Bruce here!
Let me stay, oh Mother Father,
Let me stay! I love Granada
Every night the camp fire's really keen
Oh, Ma, please send some Unguentine.
Let me stay up here in mother nature's land
and tip-toe through the tulips grand
To leave would be a shame,
besides, I'd miss the poker game.
Please don't worry, Father, Mother
I'll take care of little brother
he plays ball here and he rows here
and I hope they teach him how to blow his nose here.
He wakes up at half past 6 and
goes directly to the quick sand.
He was lonely, now he's better.
*VERSO*
Sin preguntar llegaste a mi y no me pude defender
pero gane cuando perdi
eres perfecta para mi
*PUENTE 1*
tu amor entro bajo mi piel
tan violento
y de repente estoy por ti prendiendo fuego
*CORO*
Si me lo pides soy capaz
de desafiar la eternidad
pues ya lo ves
estoy por ti
prendiendo fuego
o de luchar contra un volcan
mover al sol de su lugar
no hay discusion estoy por ti
prendiendo fuego
*VERSO*
Lo sabes bien
solo por ti
mi mundo ya no esta alrevez
y ya borre lo que vivi
no tengo miedo de caer
*PUENTE 1*
*CORO*
*PUENTE 2*
y ahora estoy
libre de lo que vivi
y ahora se
que tu fuego me encendio

Camp Granada (COMEDY)
Hello Mudda, hello Fadda,
Here I am at Camp Granada.
Camp is very entertaining,
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.
I went hiking with Joe Spivy;
He developed poison ivy.
You remember Leonard Skinner;
He got ptomain poisoning last night after dinner.
All the counselors hate the waiters,
And the lake has alligators,
And the head coach wants no sissies,
So he reads to us from something called "Ulysses".
Now I don't want this should it scare ya,
But my bunk mate has malaria.
You remember Jeffrey Hardy,
They're about to organize a searching party.
Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda,
Take me home, I hate Granada!
Don't leave me out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear.
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise,
Or mess the house with other boys.
Oh, please don't make me stay,
I've been here one whole day.
Dearest Fadda, darling Mudda,
How's my precious little brother?
Let me come home if you miss me,
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me.
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing,
Guys are swimming, gals are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's betta,
